FDA015 Object-Oriented Languages for Dynamic Systems (ECSEL)

Lectures:

24 h.

Recommended for

Students in ENSYM, SCORE, STEM, interested in software for modeling and simulation of dynamic systems.

The course was last given:

Fall 2001.

Goals

To give an overview of modern equation-based object oriented modeling languages, with emphasis on the new language Modelica, and how to model complex dynamic systems.

Prerequisites
